We believe that knowledge is the right of everyone and not simply
a means to increase the profits of the greedy capitalist, and
therefore we believe in spreading the literature of revolution on
the widest possible scale. We do not respect copyright laws nor
any other reactionary law which is imposed on us by the
capitalists of this world, and we will break any law to aide the
spread of progressive literature and to bring the world socialist
revolution closer!

Aims
of Socialist Stories

The main aim of this site is the free publication of progressive
and revolutionary literature, for we want to liberate progressive
books from luxurious bookstores and the homes of the rich, and
thus we do not believe in copyright laws which raise the price of
books or the very structure of publishing houses as companies
whose interest is in profits over everything else. These laws
prevent many from enjoying their right to knowledge, and make it
very difficult for people to educate themselves on the reality of
the conditions around them, and are solely in the interest of the
brutal capitalism under which we live. We believe that the free
acquisition of knowledge is a human right, and therefore we
adamantly reject that the spread of books should depend on the
interests of the oppressor class: unlike capitalists, we do not
consider books and knowledge as simply a means to profits, and
therefore we present to you all types of progressive literature
freely, to liberate it from capitalist control.

The
literature present on Socialist Stories

Some writers without principles maintain that literature does not
have any specific aims, and that literature has to be: art for
art's sake. This idea is present throughout the world, and
everyone should know the real nature of this idea. Supporters of
“art for art's sake” claim that their literature is “neutral,” but
in this world neutrality has no meaning and these cowardly writers
who are concerned with holding onto their wealth and their class
position do not oppose - with the excuse of “neutrality” - the
injustice, oppression, and exploitation of capitalism, nor the
shallow thinking, religious bigotry, sexism, racism, or jingoism
which capitalism has brought to the world. If they don't oppose
capitalism and it's results, then they are supporting it, because
lack of opposition means approval of the reigning regime, which is
capitalism. Whoever tries to be “neutral” in this world will have
to ignore the pained cries of the poor, the starving masses, and
all the victims of imperialism and bigotry. We, however, are not
neutral and have no desire to be, and so we present to you
progressive literature which attacks the present social,
political, and economic system, literature which fights against
bigotry and shallowness of thought! We present to you progressive
literature which stands by the working class, peasants, the poor,
and all the oppressed of the world!

This site is but a small part of the struggle of socialists
against the domination of bourgeois culture, and of course it is
not enough. However, in the end we want to help our comrades all
over the world in their revolutionary education and acquisition of
knowledge, and we hope that this site will be of use to every
comrade who visits it.
